Hurricane season?!? I think you are getting some bad information. Tourist season starts to die off after labor day. Kind of like everywhere else.

There is truth to N.S. being beautiful in the...

I'm in Alberta but own a small bit of land in the Highlands of Cape Breton. Was thinking of using it for a private little campsite for myself when I go there.

Ingonish is a great spot to base...

4 inches of bury on a tarp line?

Are you sure that rule isn't for whoopies/Suspension and not Tarps?

Merry Christmas Folks!

How? Most of us here were not aware of the distinction until a few months back when Shug pointed it out to us.

Before that most of us didn't know what a Bishop Bag was.

It's quite...

I've made dozens of the Deluxe Tree Strap Bags that Jellyfish gave us the pattern and video for.

So me and everyone I talk into Hammock Camping gets one.

I leave both continuous loops and...

I fully identify with the above. Thanks for the fun read!

I use one inch straps like most people seem to do and where I hang there are lots of mature trees to hang from so I'm not hanging on thin trees with thin bark.

I also haven't run in to any "Strap...

I use the HH Skins because that's what they carry here at MEC in Canada.

I keep them on my SuperFly. I haven't gotten anything for my MiniFly yet.

I may go looking for a one piece mesh just...

Welcome from a Cape Bretoner living in Edmonton!

It is a great forum and you will learn a lot, Great to see you join us!

Surprised nobody mentioned it so I'll add that one practical difference is the sound they make.

The SylNylon makes a more muffled sound than the slightly louder SilPoly which kinda sounds like...

I spent this season using just my MiniFly and had a quite a few nights out in the rain and wind up here in Alberta. I also own a SuperFly.

The MiniFly kept me dry. It worked great every trip....

This reminds me of something I once heard. A guy walks into a store and sees a vase for $5, he walks around the store and sees another vase, exactly the same as the first but it is priced $15. He...

I guess there are a few things specific to hammock camping that do cause me a little stress but nothing major for sure.

Site selection. Camping with others would be the big one. Sometimes others...

Very nice job on the tarp. It sure does help to have such detailed videos.

I am always up to look at something like this, and I did try. However I am not going to give out my credit card number just to have a quick peek at the software.

Excel is working fine for me. ...

looks like an awesome machine, Enjoy and be sure to post some of your projects for us to see!

Cheers!!!

The baby hammock with the little under quilt wins the internet today.

Further to Simmy74's comment above, with all the various tarp sizes you offer, why only one size Tarp Skin?

I have Hennessy Snake skins for my Super Fly, and they fit great, but I just can't see...

Ya, I'm going to add my opinion that if the 3 season UQ was the cats *** like everyone is saying then why does every post in this thread recommending them also point out how it will need a pad, or a...

I like the way you think Rweb82!!!!

if it is really small, just some repair tape on either side.

Should work.

I'm curious as to weather the height was really a factor? Did the branch strike the victim and cause the injury or did the branch hit and break the suspension and the injury came from the resulting...

It sounds like a tensile tent, do a google search on that term to see they are advertised by the manufacturer in photos as being excessively high in the trees.

Thanks Shug, Always an appropriate...

That is really nice work. I like what you created there.

Cheers!!!

Welcome, Love seeing Canadians showing up 'eh!

Do you really have to change out your head wear for each different position?

Seems that would make it unpractical for ultralight hammocking.....

Pretty cool if you like hats I guess.......

I added a 5 star review as well because I have placed a few orders with dutch and get wonderful service and quality product from him. The handwritten thank you does not go unnoticed either.
...

Hey, looks like you've got the bug. welcome!

Enjoy your trip!

ya, I have never seen the need or any reason at all for tap a talk.

Best to just uninstall it. Just a third party getting between you and the info/site you want all so they can turn a profit...

I'm rather new at walking away from the car also and one thing I did was to find general topographical maps of the area you are going and learn to use them with a reliable compass.

Learning to...

Sure. You inspired this madness. Here's some of what I have done. I have also given a few away.

The upper right corner is the full size one I made first, the rest are sized at 85%.

Just ordered mine today.

Being in Canada I was hoping to take advantage of this as well but it looks like this one isn't for me.

I'm after a winter Mamba for my GF and a stash jacket for me.

If the stash jacket was...

Ya, That's because the XLC is bigger. the XL in XLC means Extra Long.... So , well, ya, it has more fabric.......

I'm not sure what the issue is here? Did you expect the larger hammock to fit...

Or just do without panel pulls. I find edge tie outs enough for me. I choose the mini fly over the thunder fly based on the pull outs alone.

I haven't set up my super fly since the mini fly...

Why bother with a review you are not willing to put your name behind?

I thought in Saskatchewan you had to tie a bunch of corn stalks together for each end of the hammock......

Welcome Aboard! Sounds like you are well on your way!

Well, with the camping season underway I thought it might be a good time to dust off this thread and see who might be interested in pulling it together.

August or September perhaps? Anyone have...

I'm on my way out this weekend for my third trip this year.

Nice bonus that my package of odds and ends showed up from Little Shop of Hammocks this morning!

I was out at Elk River on May...

I went with the Husqvarna Viking Emerald 118 made famous in the Jellyfish series of videos. It was about $500 but I paid in Canadian dollars so I am sure you can find it well under that.

The...

I have found this to be the case in Alberta Canada also. I was almost shamed for wanting the Emerald 118 Jellyfish recommends.

As mentioned, I was being steered towards a $4000 industrial...

Slick, you are on to something there for sure!

Yup, like most I leave mine on the ground and have not had a problem. I'm in Canada though so snakes are not really a thing for us in Central Alberta.

or scorpions, or poisonous spiders.......

I think the Minifly has plenty of coverage in Porch mode.

I had it in the rain two weekends ago and it was...

I have three superflys here and love them. I also have a minifly and will use it every chance I can over the superfly.

While the superfly is perfect for my girlfriend to have some privacy behind,...

Simply, If the bear in any way can come into direct contact with the food. HUGE FAIL.

This product is useless in my eyes. it's heavy compared to a regular stuff sack and the food is just as...

LOL. love it!
